      How powerful is it in reality? What will it undo? EG wheel bolts?

        I've seen the one spinks got and that will get the majority of the bolts out i.e. subframe or worse. We've used it on cars before and its proper handy.

        Quattro nutter had a good one that came with spare battery's etc and lasted a good few years and from what I remember was only around £60-70

          I've got a snap-on 18v with two batteries with protective rubber covers and a fast charger which ive had for over a year now used almost daily.

          It'll piss through 99% of cars wheel bolt/nuts, suspension fixings, front hub nuts aswell although it cant managed the high torque vag hub centre bolts.

          It pays to take the nose cone off it time to time and regrease the internals as you can't feed oil into like an air wrench. Im always careful i dont drop it as theres a lot of weight both ends of the handle and theres alot of plastic and ally to it.


          Similar to this although ive not tried these before,

            depends on how tight they are and if the battery has got a full charge or not,for the money they are very good(mine was £100 with one battery and a charger,but i have seen them for similar money with 2 batterys

              I've also got an 18v snapon gun and its awesome. If battery good it will whip off most crank pulley bolts with ease. Snapon used to offer a full refurb (apart from exterior) for £75
